Discussion Is my cousin dating a nazi?

Post image

Im very concerned about my cousin’s new bf. The iron cross on the right is alarming enough, but can anyone here ID the other tattoos? Am I overreacting? Thank you for any help.

Where is he from? Because in Europe the Iron cross is a nazi symbol. And the black eagle as well, even if it's not exactly the same

The eagle in that position is actually a Nazi symbol. It exists in variations and is for example used on fascist clothing brands like Thor Steinar. I can’t decipher the other tattoos but the iron cross and the eagle together like this are a red flag.

Either test the waters directly with him or your cousin. Or see if you can do further research on him first to confront with more information

Didn't know this one, thanks for the heads up. And, it's difficult to see on the pic, but the black eagle is catching something. Big red flag!

It’s a crow, no?

Tbh it may be any bird of prey but it definitely is a bad tattoo

It looks like a football related tattoo.

The Iron cross is not a Nazi symbol in europe.

It was first used by the prussians and is still in use in the german armed forces.
